  1. ......records. Cappy's emotional, if verbose, post above is because he claims to have invented surfing in the Big Flood on the Murrumbidgee. He surfed Murrumbidgee King Wave in the 1923 flood from Wagga Wagga to the Gillenbah truck stop on a piece of corrugated iron. Not many people know that in fact surfing was invented in Polynesia by Akamulakikaipo Duke Turbine, the son of the famous Joshua Duke Turbine who rowed a boat from Aberdeen to SanFransico in 1657, island hopping on the way. It was on the stopover at Nikumaroro that he found ........
  2. .....subject and that's exactly what Turbo was trying to do. He'd been called on the RedPhone by Langley at 320 hours and told to activate for a Black Swan event, well it wasn't one now but it's going to be after we strike. As luck would have it, Turbo had been up to the Spratleys and checked all the Corsairs, now numbering six. Old Nobushi was in charge of them. He's 97 now and banned from flying airctraft, but Turbo notices each time he goes up that each airctraft has flown a few more hours. (. Nob's likely to be first off the deck if this BS all blows up.) As NES readers know President XI is a mate of Cappy and Turbo who give him free use of the resort (XI usually leaves it in a mess, but that's all right.) Late one night XI had blurted out that Trump was a XXXX and XI was going to attack Pearl Harbour. With the aid of Cappy's gin and Turbo's reasoning that the last effort didn't go all that well, and Nob blurting out "Yeah, I got to go to XXXXXX COWLA they thought they had the situation under control, but last week the infrared cams in the Spratleys showed a big fleet silently heading towards the Hawaiian Islands. Two stopped apparently when they ran out of battery and the rudder fell of a third, but the fleet charged on. Turbo had done what Langley wanted and sent little Albo up to pacify XI, but .........

NESers please note: Capp is talking about his skills as a Barrister at the WaggaWaggari Latte Hall Coffee Shop and Nail Painters.
  5. ..........had just rolled his Sling 2 out of the hangar ready for some manouvres when there was the unmistakeable sound of a Volkswagen Kombischaffen screaming across the tarmac, AK47s out every window tearing the windsock off its hinges. He did the only thing he could do .................

  8. ......a payout of $50.00 per person, and he allocated Cappy to manage any payments. Cappy realised these would be coming from his own pocket and there were going to be 10,000 people because there was a BNS ball out at Big Red. The utes had already started the elimination runs up the big sand hill. Turbo gassed up at Moorabbin and set the GPS for Birdsville, laid back and went to sleep with the 150 dbA exhausts crackling in his ears. "Better than a swag" he thought. At Birdsvile he headed for Big Red, and put the big Hurricane down to prop top level in the dirt; the utes disappeared off the track and at the last millisecond Turbo made a couple of adjustments and the big prop was tearing up Big Red and over the top. He went on to Bedourie and won the third race by flying between the fences. The horses took six weeks of hunting to find and there were jockeys out there for months walking in all directions. There didn't have to be a payout, and Turbo and Cappy were signing autographs all night until Cappy touched ......... Turbo flew up one year for the Easter Goat Races and stayed out on a property. The Ligtning Ridge Cup is held on the Saturday past the mine holes and through the scrub. One year the Clerk of Course phoned the property owner saying; "Could I borrow your white horse? Mine's come up lame." The property owner said she was too young and skittish but the Clerk of Course said it was her or running - life The mare came in first that year.

  12. It's not as formal as RA and simpler, and it's possible that the person didn't check or didn't have his harness done up or the latch was only partially engaged and there was a sudden movement, mybe a gust of wind. Nothing most of us haven't done at some stage.
  13. .....ability with something serious like a Jabiru J230. There are so many stories about Cappy and what he called the "Wine Run" but really was flying with the wheels scraping the ground to get under the radar and bring Queensland immigrants back to Wagga Wagga as Roadhouse managers, butchers, chefs and firepersons.
